Nick Coghlan added the comment: The concern with using the "generate a private module that can be cached" approach is that it doesn't generalise well - any time you want to micro-optimise a new module that way, you have to add a custom Makefile rule.
By contrast, Argument Clinic is a general purpose tool - adopting it for micro-optimisation in another file would just be a matter of adding that file to the list of files that trigger a clinic run. functools.py would be somewhat notable as the first Python file we do that for, but it isn't a novel concept overall. That leads into my main comment on the AC patch: the files that are explicitly listed as triggering a new clinic run should be factored out into a named variable and that list commented accordingly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28638> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
